Eclipse vs Semolina

EclipseBenjamin MoorevsSemolinaBenjamin MooreΔE 63.9 — Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Eclipse belongs to the blue-grey family and Semolina to the beige family. Semolina (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Eclipse (LRV 20), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Eclipse runs blue while Semolina is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 63.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
